Through Healthy NewsWorks, student reporters research credible sources, interview experts, and produce articles for their school newspapers and Healthy NewsWorks publications. During the 2026–27 school year, we will deliver our programs to more than 2,200 students in the Philadelphia and New Jersey regions.
What students say
Two of our student reporters, whose work has appeared in their school newspapers and By Kids, For Kids magazines share how Healthy NewsWorks has helped them develop new skills and confidence.
“I learned that I shouldn’t be scared of things that I’ve never tried before because they could change my whole life.” —Amelia, sixth grader
“I learned to write in a whole different way. Not just ‘once upon a time,’ but actual news.” —Benjamin, seventh grader
Your support makes a difference
Every interview, article, video, and new opportunity for our student reporters is made possible with support from people who believe children should have the skills to ask questions, find trustworthy information, and share what they learn with their communities.
Please consider a gift before Dec. 31 to help bring health journalism and media literacy education to more students.
